From our #BrutalNYC survey: One Police Plaza# ​The New York Police Department's​ headquarters at One Police Plaza was the heart of the Civic Center's postwar revitalization that also saw the creation of the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Murry Bergtraum High School, Chatham Green, Chatham Towers and a public plaza, all designed by Gruzen & Partners. Previously the Department had been located north of the civic center area, in a block-long Beaux-Arts building on Centre Street. To connect the new development with Park Row, the street was lowered, curving under the anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge. Today this area has been closed to cars and surrounded by checkpoints in an attempt to secure the base of the bridge and One Police Plaza. Duane Street and New Chambers Street (through the Municipal Building) were also closed and paved with red brick. The new headquarters consisted of a​ brutalist​ ten-story red brick cube with a matrix of punched-out windows, sitting atop a multi-leveled base. The corners of the cube cantilever over the base, exposing the concrete structural elements. The mostly windowless bases house a garage, holding cells, and a shooting range. The surrounding landscaped plaza designed by architect M. Paul Friedberg was praised by critics, helping to tie the new buildings together, creating a successful public space surrounding these new developments.​#BrutalNYC​ nycurbanism.com/brutalnyc for more #Brutal_Architecture #brutalism #brutalist (at One Police Plaza- NYC Police Headquarters) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0Xbjquh8i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“The sloping sides of Palika Kendra appear as though emerging from the ground, like tectonic plates forced from the earth’s mantle by tremendous force. Within the building sits the New Delhi Municipal Council, which originated from the Imperial Delhi Committee – formed to oversee the construction of Delhi as the new capital of India. The Palika Kendra Building is an expression of power, will, and strength, representing the urgency of Prime Minister Nehru’s desire to challenge received wisdom and entrenched design practice in order to forge a new vision of India.”

Completed in 1984 and designed by Kuldip Singh, who sadly passed away earlier this month due to COVID.
